Intriguing MS62 1842-O Quarter Eagle

1842-O $2 1/2 MS62 NGC. As the present coin ably illustrates, the 1842-O is often softly struck. This piece has unbroken light yellow luster, but the detail is soft, perhaps on a VF level if taken out of context. In terms of technical grade, however, this coin ranks among the finest known. Undisturbed aside from a beveled obverse rim at 12 o'clock. Only 19,800 pieces were struck. Census: 3 in 62, 5 finer (4/09).(Registry values: P2)
